Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.

So begins Vladimir Nabokov’s classic study of the brutal tyranny of obsession between the narrator Humbert Humbert and the 12-year-old nymphet. But this is no parody of the controversial work. Nor is there even a nod to the original beyond, perhaps, some pop culture references and those infamous heart-shaped glasses.

Given the theme of the novel, this is not a bad thing. As the porn unfolds into a series of little music videos between six and 15 minutes in length, you get a sense of Lolita — a character who until now has been largely presented through her captor’s words and actions. A theme of youthful exploration — including that of desire and power and the power of desire — underline every scene.

Lupe Fuentes, who stars as Lolita in this, her first Wicked film as a contract girl, is our Lo, four-foot-some in her socks, tutus and pigtails. She has presence, and like the nymphet she personifies, seems completely unaware of the effect of her giggly delight as she stares into the camera.

The film includes seven scenes and one deleted scene in the extras. The first scene is Lupe Fuentes at a tattoo shop, scoring a tat from Spyder Jonez in exchange for a blowjob that culminates in a pop shot to her glasses. The second scene features Alexa Nicole and Brad Armstrong (who also directed the film) at the movies where a routine inspection of the nearly-empty theater results in a heavy reverse cowgirl session. The third scene features Fuentes and Madison Ivy as dolls, and Spyder Jonez as their wicked master who brings them to life only to decimate them.

Fuentes gets herself off in the next scene, where she is manning a rather unsuccessful lemonade booth. In the fifth scene, Fuentes plays a naughty cupid who gets Breanne Benson and Tommy Gunn hot and bothered for a bit of oral and vaginal sex. The next scene is a girl-on-girl between Fuentes and Kaylani Lei set against a pink set with carousel horses.

The last scene — and Fuentes’ favorite — is the last, where she and Sienna Milano blow Seth Gamble and Spyder Jonez, who are dressed in animal costumes.

“One is a bunny and the other one is a tiger and it’s super funny because they’re big stuffed animals and you are sucking their cocks and everything,” Fuentes told XFanz. “It’s super cool.”

There is a deleted scene with Cassandra Cruz and Randy Spears involving a hot dog stand, but we’ve told you more than enough.

This video is worth every dollar just based on the dolls scene. Wicked needs to seriously consider bringing Armstrong aboard to explore that idea further, perhaps even develop a parody based on a combination of Tim Burton films. Two things with that: don’t be afraid to stick to black and white and promise us Lupe Fuentes, Madison Ivy and Spyder Jones will be in it.

That Steam allows the objectification and sexualization of female characters in a variety of its games but refuses to accept a game about actually engaging with women in a more interactive fashion is astonishingly backward.

That the site doesn’t take measures to protect user content and has shown incompetence or negligence in regard to user privacy, all the while prohibiting victims from warning others about predatory behavior creates an environment where it is nearly impossible for members of the community to take care of themselves and one another. By enabling FetLife to continue espousing a code of silence, allowing the spinning self-created security issues as “attacks,” and not pointing out how disingenuous FetLife statements about safety are, we are allowing our community to become a breeding ground for exploitation.

Should people who benefit (parents, siblings, children, roommates!) from the earnings of “commercial sex acts” (any sexual conduct connected to the giving or receiving of something of value) be charged with human trafficking? Should someone who creates obscene material that is deemed “deviant” be charged as with human trafficking? Should someone who profits from obscene materials be charged with human trafficking? Should people transporting obscene materials be charged with human trafficking? Should a person who engages in sex with someone claiming to be above the age of consent or furnishing a fake ID to this effect be charged with human trafficking? What if I told you the sentences for that kind of conviction were eight, 14 or 20 years in prison, a fine not to exceed $500,000, and life as a registered sex offender?

If you are a woman, you might be given a chance to prove yourself in this community. Since there is no standard definition of what a “geek” is and it will vary from one judge to the next anyway, chances of failing are high (cake and grief counseling will be available after the conclusion of the test!). If you somehow manage to succeed, you’ll be tested again and again by anyone who encounters you until you manage to establish yourself like, say, Felicia Day. But even then, you’ll be questioned. As a woman, your whole existence within the geek community will be nothing but a series of tests — if you’re lucky. If you aren’t lucky, you’ll be harassed and threatened and those within the culture will tacitly agree that you deserve it.

Zak’s original field, it turns out, is economics, a far cry from the hearts and teddy bears we imagine when we consider his nickname. But after performing experiments on generosity, Zak stumbled on the importance of trust in interactions, which led him, rather inevitably, to research about oxytocin. Oxytocin, you might remember, is a hormone that has been linked previously to bonding — between mothers and children primarily, but also between partners. What Zak has done is take the research a step further, arguing in his recent book, The Moral Molecule, that oxytocin plays a role in determining whether we are good or evil.

Let’s talk about the strippers. Whether they like to be half-naked or not, whether they enjoy turning you on or not, there’s one thing they all have in common: they’re working. Whether you think that taking one’s clothes off for money is a great choice of career is really beside the point (is it a possibility for you to make $500 per hour at your job without a law degree? Just asking). These women are providing fantasy, yes, but that is their job. And as a patron of the establishment where they work, you need to treat them like you would anyone else who provides a service to you.
